Dream team: Nokia Hardware w/ BB10
I wonder out loud here what the commitment is between Nokia and Microsoft for the long haul?
In my opinion a killer combination would be a rock solid Nokia phone running BB10. I'd like to think RIM would consider licensing out BB10 wherever possible to rebuild their core.
Do you want quality apps?
App developers already complain about too many different BlackBerry platforms. You want to make that problem even worse with BB10? And, there is the considerable security risk of having non-RIM hardware out there. Would they be as careful about stopping rooting? Even RIM screwed that up with their first QNX device.
No thanks on Jokia, Samdung or any other non-RIM maker. I'm willing to pay a premium for a mobile device made on my continent by a caring workforce.
